Assistance for Indigenous MesoAmerican Families

The TierrAgua COVID-19 Relief Assistance Program for Mesoamerican/Indigenous Families of Washington County ended on December 31st, 2021.

This one-time program, COVID-19 Impact Support Fund, was provided by Health Share of Oregon to United Way of the Columbia-Willamette. The funds were designated to aid organizations in addressing the critical needs arising from the current public health and economic crises.

In partnership with TierrAgua, funds were used to provide emergency and on-going assistance for utilities and/or rent payments for families. A total of 95 families received benefits for rent and/or utilities assistance with this program.

72 families from Guatemala and 23 from Mexico were served through this program. Families that received assistance spoke numerous languages including High and Low Mixtec, Zapoteco, Mam, Q’anjob’al, K’iche’, and Chu’uj.

A big thank you to TierrAgua and Health Share Oregon for supporting families in our region through this effort!
